The Baltimore Ravens are not done targeting veteran players in the free agency market.

If you kept up with the Baltimore Ravens in the 2017 NFL Draft, you can see that they had a particular plan: building the backbone of the offense and defense. They stuck to this plan, drafting five defensive players and two offense lineman. Many fans where frustrated that Newsome and the front office failed to address needs on the offense. Not a single offensive skill player was chosen, the first time in franchise history.

While fans are upset and have the right to be, the Ravens are not done finding players. We as fans should know this. The Ravens were very busy at the beginning of free agency and they could look to add one to two more players. Now that the draft is over, any free agent they sign after May 9th will not cost them a compensatory pick. We know Ozzie is very keen on keeping his compensatory picks for the draft.

But who are the free agents that the Ravens could target? After the draft, the most glaring needs are at wide receiver and offensive tackle. I take a look at these options.
